Gupta S, Lui B, Ma X, et al. - Researchers investigated whether inpatient mortality and 30-day and 90-day readmissions after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) differ by gender among a multistate population From the State Inpatient Databases Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, from January 2007 to December 2014, they identified a total of 304,080 patients who underwent CABG surgery. Among these, death was reported of 5,699 patients (1.87%), including 2,131 women (2.65%) and 3,568 men (1.60%). Per analysis, risk of in-hospital death and 30-day and 90-day readmission is higher among female patients who undergo CABG compared with men. Persistence of this gender-based disparity in outcomes was noted since identification some 40 years ago.
